Maybe 32 spoke would be fine. But what does it cost me to go 36 spoke? Nothing, as far as I'm concerned. I'd be amazed if the power requirement differences were even easily measurable, let alone noticeable. It's utterly inconsequential to me how many spokes a wheel has one way or the other for any reason, so I go with what's less likely to cause me trouble.
